- Nature’s Treasure in Block Island
A “last great place”
Feel civilization closing in? Block Island do. So they’ve made one-quarter of their island open space for your family to enjoy. It also helps to protect the 40-plus rare and endangered species of plants and animals that thrive here.
An uncommon 11 square-mile oasis just 12 miles off the Rhode Island coast, from the majestic 200-foot Mohegan Bluffs to noble birds on the Great Salt Pond to the maze of woodland tails at Clay Head Block Island has the remarkable ability to put you back in touch with yourself.
Only three hours from New York and two from Boston (plus a relaxing hour ride by ferry), seaside Victorian hotels, cozy inns, great fool and friendly people complement nature perfectly. Little wonder the Nature great places in the Western Hemisphere. Visit while there’s still time. 23 Water Street, Block Island, RI 02807. 800-383-BIRI
